Nathan, please feel free to submit the abstract, but could you please
(in the additional notes section) include the author list? You might
also mention in the notes that we're hoping to split up the
presentation and additionally have "ambassadors" or something that
will be there to talk to people about data, etc etc. The abstract may
also be too long. If so, I say cut the last sentence, and whatever
else, but try to keep some of the important stuff like non-astro,
units, 3.0, and the scientific python ecosystem bit. The detailed
abstract can include the entire current abstract. Also, I think it
should be submitted to the general track, and not one of the domain
symposia.

I think it still needs to be fleshed out, but this should be a good start.
Sam, Matt, Doug, and anyone else that would like to contribute but haven't
chimed in yet, please take a look at the google doc and edit the outline as
you see fit.

First, there doesn't seem to be a way to add additional authors to the
abstract. Matt, I think you're on the organizing committee for the
conference - is it appropriate for us to be submitting a talk with
more than one speaker? How do I indicate that on the abstract
submission form.

Second, in addition to the abstract, which we've already written,
there needs to be a "Detailed Abstract" -- the form indicates this
should be an outline for the talk -- which will not be printed in the
program but will be made public on the conference website. We'll need
to collectively write this before we can submit our talk for
consideration.
